I Miss It So Much: Lyrics

by Bradley Stern

Filed in: Lykke Li, Royksopp


Because I’ve fallen so heavily for the new Röyksopp’s latest release, I feel compelled to type out the lyrics in their entirety for all to adore.

It’s a job that I’ve come to realize may require the assistance of a translator; for as much as I absolutely adore the exotic intonation of our lovely Swedish and Nordic guest vocalists, it’s quickly become apparent that their accents, combined with the layers upon layers of sound, make scribing a bit more difficult than I’d first anticipated.

Still, this one was easy…pretty sure it’s right. As always, message me if you hear different. Please enjoy the majestic sombre detune of Ms. Lykke Li’s contribution to Junior, “I Miss It So Much.”

I miss it so much.
No button to touch,
No dial to turn,
No key to hold.

Days turn to nights, turn to weeks,
Turn paper into rocks, into plastic.
My material heart, how it keeps us apart.
Watching days turn to nights, turn to weeks,
Turn everything I got into techniques.
My mechanical heart, how it tears me apart.

I miss it so much.
No button to touch,
No dial to turn,
No key to hold.

I miss it so much.
No button to touch,
No flick of the switch,
Hand on my heart.

Days turn to nights, turn to weeks,
Turn paper into rocks, into plastic.
My material heart, how it keeps us apart.
Watching days turn to nights, turn to weeks,
Turn everything I got into techniques.
My mechanical heart, how it tears me apart.

I miss it so much.
No button to touch,
No dial to turn,
No key to hold.

I miss it so much.
No button to touch,
No flick of the switch,
Hand on my heart.

this is perfect – exactly what it sounds to my ear

altho, regarding structure, i would i put it this way:

I miss it so much
No button to touch
No dial to turn
No key to hold

Days turn to nights turn to weeks
Turn to paper into rocks into plastic
My material heart
How it keeps us apart

Watching days turn to nights turn to weeks
Turn everything I got into techniques
My mechanical heart
How it tears me apart

I miss it so much
No button to touch
No dial to turn
No key to hold

I miss it so much
No button to touch
No flick of the switch
Hand on my heart

thank you very much for making this effort – i definitely wouldn't have made it myself

the album might include a booklet with the lyrics, but i can't wait for it!

March 23 is the big day :)

noticed there was a “to” too much on the second line of the second verse

correction below

“Days turn to nights turn to weeks
Turn paper into rocks into plastic”
